He is using manual saves from the menu aside from quicksaves. Im also using manual saves for backup purposes when something goes wrong. I also use it since im playing 2 characters hehe. Right now i have around 170 manual saves.

Hmm I must be doing it wrong then when it comes to saves. I used quick saves as my main way of saving. It seems though that my saves don't amount to anymore than a total 10-11.

Should I "ESC" out then use the save feature instead of quick save? I too don't trust auto.

Yeah, guess what Brilliance I pulled off? I was trusting that quicksave would do the job, (It said saving at certain points) so the first time I died, at dragonsreach, it started respawning me with almost no health, and more and more soldiers surrounding me every time. I went to load an earlier save, and the only one that was there was the one where I'm a prisoner at the beginning. Good thing I only had a couple hours in.

I'm at around 190 manual saves for only a single character that doesn't even have a specific skill set

Oh man I almost lost it with something similar. I was on the quest and it made me reload with low health and guards hitting me. I almost gave up and started over as my saves were few and It made me load at 11-11-11 !

I finally figured out the part of it and needed to find a trap door to exit the dinner party.

I usually perform manual saves on some quest specific events, or when i feel like ive been playing for a bit, preferably on a closed cell/place where there are few to no NPCs/object or nothing much is going on. I think it was suggested long ago when i was still getting addicted to oblivion, and one of the tip for better stability of mod loading, particularly Martigen's Monster Mod where it recommends you to save and load on an empty cell.

Did you go to white run and talk to the Jarl and his wizard etc and do the quests there?

They won't turn up until you do that.

Yeah, I talked to the Jarl, and he took me into the wizards room and then 2 guards spawned and killed me before I could turn around. So I tried saying different things to him, and it turned out the same each time. I managed to escape though, with about 20 guards following me all the way to riverwood, where the locals started beating on me with axes. I narrowly escaped and kept running till I got to Falkreath.

I like falkreath. nobody is killing me. however, my favorite part on the whole map, (I've done a ton of running around) Is the area around Honningbrew.
